Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 448: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Gu Mancang, who failed to find his fellow disciples, decided not to waste time here. He wanted to continue heading south with his family.

The villagers of Shi'ao Village originally came for Gongzhou. Many of their families had already been cut off from water and food, and were entirely dependent on the village's collective grain supply. They did not want to leave and only wanted to enter Gongzhou City to survive.

This time, the village chief did not try to keep Gu Mancang. He just thanked him a few words and then discussed with the villagers how to go into the city.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Before Gu Mancang could get out of the crowd while pushing the cart, a riot broke out in front of him. No matter how strong Gu Mancang was, he could not resist the crowd. The cart was overturned and Gu Li fell to the ground with the cart.

Gu Mancang only had time to push away the crowd to prevent his daughter from being trampled.

As soon as Gu Li climbed up from under the package, she was pulled and thrown to Gu Mancang's side.

He Yunwang sent Gu Li to Gu Mancang, and he and his mother helped He Xingqing up. The five of them huddled together beside the cart, trying their best not to be carried away by the crowd.

The villagers of Shi'ao Village did not forget to shout to Gu Mancang, "Brother Mancang, there are people ahead who are building a human wall and climbing into the city. Let's take advantage of the chaos to break in!"

Gu Li was surrounded in the center. She grabbed Gu Mancang's clothes tightly and said, "Dad, we are not going!"

I don’t know who instigated the refugee riot. The refugees who can’t even fill their stomachs are powerless. How can they fight against the defenders in the city?

Life?

They really have only one life left.

Gu Mancang protected his family and slowly moved them out of the crowd. Tao Chunhua was reluctant to part with her belongings that she had worked so hard to obtain, so she picked up packages from the ground as she moved, and her whole body was covered with belongings of all sizes.

"Brother Gu, our things." There is still the cart that has not been taken.

Hearing the shouting and banging on the door coming from the city gate, Gu Li felt a chill on the back of her neck and had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.

She pulled Gu Mancang's clothes and said, "Dad, run, run to the side."

We must not remain on the main road.

Before Gu Li finished speaking, a large number of shrill cries rang out from the city gate. Gu Li, who was blocked by her family, didn't know what was going on. The tall and strong Gu Mancang looked over the crowd and saw arrows flying down from the city wall like a rain of arrows.

Gu Mancang's face changed drastically, "Run!"

He picked up his daughter and said, "Hold her tight."

Gu Li reflexively hugged Gu Mancang's neck tightly and clamped her legs around him, "Dad, everyone is coming back! Run!"

The large number of refugees who were shot and fell to the ground at the city gate frightened the people rushing back and fled in all directions. It was more dangerous than rushing forward.

Gu Mancang pulled He Xingqing up and threw him on his back, then ran towards the wasteland far away from the main road, "Chunhua, Yunwang, follow us, follow us!"

Gu Mancang ran for a long time, so long that he could no longer hear the horrifying and miserable wails and the chaotic shouting of the crowd.

Gu Li didn't know when she changed from hanging in front of Gu Mancang to He Yunwang's back. Gu Li only remembered that she lost strength in her limbs and couldn't hold on to her father. When she was about to fall, someone caught her.

The young boy ran out of breath, and his messy hair at the temples stuck to his face with sweat.

Gu Li on his back was not feeling well either. She was shaken all over. Her limbs were still clinging to He Yunwang tightly, fearing that this bastard would accidentally throw her to the ground again.

They kept running until they reached the vicinity of a mountain, and only then did Gu Mancang, who was leading the group, slow down.

He Yunwang squatted down and put Gu Li down. Before Gu Li could stand firmly, He Yunwang knelt on his knees and fell to the ground with his head down.

"Ayun!" Tao Chunhua threw away the bag in her hand and rushed over.

Gu Mancang put He Xingqing down and took the lead to pull He Yunwang to stand up. "Don't lie down, don't close your eyes, you must not lie down at this time. Hold on for a while, just slowly, don't lie down!"

He Yunwang, who was helped up, had drooping eyelids and many fine scratches on his face from the dead branches and weeds on the ground.

Tao Chunhua helped He Yunwang and supported him to walk two steps on the spot.

There were many refugees who fled here with Gu Mancang, and most of them lost their luggage while running.

Across the street was a mountain and withered woods, devoid of any signs of life. The refugees who had just escaped a disaster squatted on the ground and cried because of the bleak future ahead.

"This damn God doesn't want us to live."

"It's not enough to starve us to death and thirst to death, you don't even leave us a way to survive-----"

One person started crying, and gradually more people started crying too.

Gu Li doesn't have much sympathy, she just wants herself and her father to live.

Looking back at the road I came from, I don’t know what the situation is like over there.

With so many people causing a riot, the defenders would definitely not be able to deter the growing gathering of refugees unless they killed a group of people.

He Yunwang was helped to regain some consciousness and was finally able to breathe again. The pain in his chest was also relieved a lot.

Gu Mancang held his arm and led him to continue moving. "Once we settle down, you can practice some martial arts with me."

Tao Chunhua helped her son calm down with concern and looked at Gu Mancang with red eyes, "Where should we go next?"

Most of their belongings were lost, and Tao Chunhua didn't know how far they could go.

Gu Mancang frowned and looked at the uncle and nephew of the He family. He wanted to go back and see if the luggage was still there, but he was worried that something might happen if he left them there.

"Dad, we can't go back. The city guards will definitely take the opportunity to drive out the refugees. Swords have no mercy!"

Seeing more and more refugees running here, Gu Mancang gave up the idea of ​​going back and said, "Let's go into the mountains."

Gu Mancang carried He Xingqing on his back, Tao Chunhua supported He Yunwang, and Gu Li followed closely beside Gu Mancang.

He Yunwang still walked a little unsteadily. Tao Chunhua felt very distressed and worried that her son would not be able to hold on. "Brother Gu, why don't we sleep on the floor with everyone else at the open space at the foot of the mountain?"

Why run into the mountains?

"We are running out of water and only have a few buns left. What's the point of staying there? We might as well go into the mountains and see if we can find something to eat."

Gu Mancang had seen with his own eyes people cooking children for food. How could he dare to leave his precious daughter among a bunch of starving ghosts and live in fear?

Tao Chunhua shut up. No matter how much she saved the water in the earthenware jar, it would be empty after such a long time. Their current water was still the water from Gu Li's bamboo tube.

Each person can only drink one or two sips a day to moisten the throat.

The mountains and forests that should have been lush and green are now withered and yellow. There is no green grass covering the ground, revealing the scorched earth.

Gu Mancang and his family walked for a long time before they found an open space and put He Xingqing down.

"There's very little vegetation here, so small animals won't come here, let alone large wild beasts. You guys rest here first, I'll go inside and take a look."

"Dad, I'll go with you!" Gu Li had been riding in the car all the way. When she escaped in the morning, she was either hanging on Gu Mancang or being carried by someone else, but she didn't feel tired.

"You stay here, Daddy will be back soon!"

Gu Li stepped forward and held Gu Mancang's hand, "Dad, in the village I often went up the mountain with my friends to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. I know a lot of wild vegetables and I can find food."

Gu Mancang was stunned. He knew how to hunt, but it was hard to even find a wild rabbit on this small mountain. He didn't know what wild vegetables were.

Not to mention the three members of the He family who have always lived in the city.
